AT&T: short rant


I was just reading in the NY Times about the stresses on AT&T's network from the iPhone.  But that really does nothing to explain why I started seeing 1 bar (or less) ALL THE TIME, in a lot of places in the city where I used to have fine service -- such as my own kitchen.  This is not a load problem!  My wife's non-iPhone has been falling into the same holes in coverage as my iPhone.

If AT&T would give some straight information about exactly what's going on -- where are the towers; what are the upgrades; who is affected? what is the timeframe? -- I would feel like they had things under control.  But it's  all shrouded in mystery.  Or mysterious incompetence.  Hard to tell.  

Dear large corporations: the way that people talk endlessly on the intertubes about openness?  Those folks might be idiots -- but even if they are, they STILL might be on to something.  Let that sink in for a second.
